Denver Star

Society's Swellest Fashion Parade, AT SHORTER CHURCH ON THURSDAY, May 3 POLITICS--HUGHES PATRIOTISM--WILSON To Avenge Murder, E. J Sawyer Writes Strong Letter to South Carolina Paper Mr. Editor:—Several times you have very kindly given me a hearing through the valuable column of your highly appreciated paper, but "past blessings do not suffice in these war times. I want you to publish this letter for the benefit of my race, and if your people happen to read it: well it will not hurt them. I have the distinction, I will not say honor, of being the only colored man now in the county, who voted against President Wilson at the last election. For political reasons, was then for Hughes. For patriotic reasons, I am now for Wilson. Then, I favored resenting insults to our flag; now I favor revenging the ruthless murder of American citizens. Then I was for preparing; now I am for fight ing. Yes, fighting with every available means at our hands. For what has the Negro to fight? Foolish question! But we are told to answer a fool according to his question," and I shall try to do so. In common with other American citizens, he has a proud flag, a glorious country and a grand republican form of government for which to fight. As a race, he has billions of dollars in churches, school houses, industrial enterprises, farms and homes for which to fight. He has to fight to prove his courage and loyalty, and to vindicate his right to American citizenship, and last but not least, he has to fight to insure victory: true the Negro cannot win this war for America, but America cannot win it without the loyal support and co-operation of the colored race. In common with all loyal Americans we have our place and will do our part. We will gladly and cheerfully stand by the flag and if need be shed our blood and give of life in its defence. This the Negro has done from Bunker Hill to Carrizal. History records the fact that not in a single instance has he proved disloyal or failed to respond to his country's call. He knows not what it if to sulk or be indifferent, when the country he loves, the country that gave him birth, civilization and Christianity is in danger. All can not fight at the front but everyone, no matter how humble his position in life may be, can help in the great fight for the freedom of the sea, the honor of our flag and safety of our homes by performing willingly and efficiently ly the work he is best fitted to do. Let our motto be: "Produce more, waste less, prepare to The Denver Star ESTABLISHED 1888 fight, bleed or die, if necessary." France was seriously embarrassed and lost thousands of men, because the working people were slow to realize the need of their co-operation and help. England was over two years making preparations that might have been made in less than a year, if so many of her industrial classes had not failed to understand her needs, and the warning of her statesmen. Let us profit by these examples and offer ready and willing service. We have valiantly stood by the nation in every crisis, whether upon the field of battle or in support of industries in the time of war. In prosperity and in adversity our sinewy arms have fed the arteries of commerce that sustained the life of this great nation. The primary object of this letter is to call a meeting of the colored people in the court house Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock to discuss and hear discussed means of rendering to the state and nation the most effective and valvable service. Mr. Editor, will you kindly emphasize this call, and if possbile come to the meeting and tell the colored farmers of Marlboro, how they may share in this war by fighting weeds and grass on their farms and raising more food for those at the front fighting for our flag. "Your flag and my flag And, oh how much it holds: Your land and my land— Secure within its folds! Your heart and my heart The one flag—the great flag, The flag for me and you; Glorified all else beside— The red and white and blue!" Coming to Colorado From Texas The Colorado and Southern Railroad has brought up from Texas in the last two weeks, fully 200 Negroes to work in the freight department. We are urging that the ministers of the city together with the Y. M. C. A. workers get busy and try and throw around the men here such helpful influence that they will be a credit and not not a stumbling block to us. We have church brotherhoods, ushers clubs and various societies thru which we may work. Toronto, Can. --It has been officially announced through the Chief Press Censor's office that the No. 2 Construction Battalion, made up of colored men, has arrived safely in England. The colored troopers sailed from Halifax Murch 25. Several hundred American Negroes are in the battalion. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, APRIL 28, 1917 When the Rub Comes The Contrast When the Rub Comes The Contrast North Aflame with Patriotism, South Cold Cold. Negroes Rapidly Enlisting. So far as we have been able to discern, after the South has secured the presidential approval of segregation in the Bureau of Engraving, U. S. Treasury, Auditor for the Navy Interior Department, Post Office, War Department, Marine hospital service, and the State and other departments, there are not many southern States, thru actual enlistments, interposing their bare bosoms in defence of this country and their president and are not many southern soldiers willing to present and are actually presenting their naked bodies to be the target of the enemy's bullet, that, they too, might march shoulder to shoulder with people of all groupes who love real democracy and liberty in defense of the liberty of the world, in the defense of other republics, and in the defense of the rights of little peoples who are too weak to successfully defend their own rights. The black man has, and is now enlisting wherever and whenever he can, his services to aid on the side of right and liberty. This war crisis has shown, if it has shown anything at all, that it is not always the person who clamors the loudest about patriotism and treason, who is the real patriot. Thus it is in the South, that while some of them are trying to attract attention by saying the Negro is a traitor, the Negro is quietly and rapidly enlisting in round numbers in Oklahoma and other places. Oklahoma has even sent Negroes to Fort Logan. North Carolina isn't showing much war spirit. The North is all aflame with war and war's alarms. Down here we are not enlisting to beat the band; we are walking around and wandering what will happen.—Greensboro Daily Record. On Friday, March 23, Mayor Baggett wrote the president that he wished to inform the president that our people in this section are ready to offer, and do hereby offer. our services in defense of our American rights and in support of our contentions, to be used in whatever way that our country may require. This letter was published in the paper on Sunday, March 25, and on Monday, March 26, a recruiting officer appeared in Lillington expecting, doubtless, our people to run over over each other to enlist, but up to Wednesday night not a mother's son had offered himself.—Harnett Post. I was in Lillington, N. C., county seat of Harnett county, last week, when a recruiting officer from Fortress Monroe was there to persuade young white men of military age to enlist, but not one did he get, notwithstanding the mayor of the town pledged "all our resources, energies and thought to repel German invasion." While I was there I was told that some of these very same white patriots (?) approached a crowd of colored men standing on the corner of the street, and in a commanding manner said, "Why don't some of you 'niggers enlist and go to war?" One of the colored men replied: "It is none of our war: it is up to you white folks to fight this thing out." The white man replied: "You niggers must think we white folks are d—n fools to go to war and leave you all back here with our wives and daughters." The colored man came back with; 'Your fathers did so fifty years ago and they had no cause to regret it,' Then there was silence.—New York Age. LOYALTY OF BLACK MAN SIMON PURE Chicago, Ill.—Fifty stalwart black boys, enlisted into the Eighth Illinois infantry, the crack black regiment of Illinois. Led by the Eighth Regiment band thousands of patriotic members thronged the streets the greatest patriotic demonstration in years. It is interesting to note that these effervescent expressions of loyalty come from the Negroes in a state where a large measure of citizenship rights are accorded the race. Galveston, Texas,—Fifty-six black men enlisted at the recruiting station here in one day last week. There evidently had been no foundation to the stories emanating from southern Texas to the effect that the black men were being influenced by German emissaries. COLORED PATRIOTS The "Colored Patroit's Common Defense and General Welfare League of the United States of America," has issued to the colored citizens of the United States the following appeal: Colored American citizens, attention! Our Government, our country and our home is at war. Our achievements of the past and our present and future welfare is at stake. "The Land of the Free, and the Home of the Brave" is aroused as never before. It is our plain duty to stand firmly by the United States in this world's crisis. This is the opportune time for us to re-declare our loyalty, patriotism and allegiance to the government, therefore, let us not be weighed in the balance and found wanting. In this, the greatest world struggle, there must be exhibited, preached and practiced nothing but undiluted, unadulterated and genuine Americanism. The eyes of the country and the world are focused upon us, as this is no time for true, unfaltering and unswerving loyalty, patriotism and allegiance to be subordinated to racial hatred, racial animosity and racial hostility or partisanship. This great struggle is one, in behalf of civilization, liberty and humanity as opposed to barbarism, oppression and inhumanity, and in this, with out regard to race, colored or creed, whether native born or naturalized, jew or gentile, each and all of the citizens of the United States and prospective citizens of the United States should stand by the government in every conceivable way in this hour of trial and tribulation. The principal and chief reason, why our loyalty, patriotism and allegiance must not be vacillating, wavering or uncertain, is that we are indebted to the Nation individually and collectively for freedom, liberty and the near future that we have all to gain and nothing to lose. Knoxville, Tenn., Special. The city commissioners in session at their regular meeting on last Friday morning appointed three additional men to the city detective force and among those appointed was John Singleton. Detective Singleton has been doing plain clothes duty for several months although his appointment to that position had not been acted upon by the commissioners until last Friday. The promotion carries with it a salary of $90 per month. The race has cause for elation also over the appointment of David Saunders, a local Colored citizen, to the police department, making a total of five members of the race now serving on the city police force. Mayor John E. McMillan, popular among the Colored race in the city because of his interest manifested in their welfare, nominated the two members of the race for the positions. The action of the commissioners in giving the race in the city this added representation was the source of much favorable comment from every angle among the members of the race here. State Historic & Nat ural History Society FIVE CENTS A COUP SUPREME LODGE OF PYTHIANS LOSES LAW SUIT. The Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, at Washington, handed down a decision Friday, April 13, Justice McCoy presiding, in which it wss decided that the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of Virginia was wrongfully expelled from the Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias, N. A., S. A., E., A., A. & A. This is the culmination favorably to the Grand Lodge K. of P., of Virginia, of a suit instituted by that body against the Supreme Lodge to restrain that tribunal from enforcing the proclamation of the Supreme Chancellor suspending the Grand Lodge of Virginia and all the members in the subordinate lodges in that grand jurisdiction from the Order. At the session of the Supreme Lodge at Baltimore, the action of the Supreme Chancellor was sustained and a resolution adopted expelling the Grand Lodge, K. of P. of Virginia from the Order. A restraining order was obtained from Justice Ashley M. Gould, of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, forbidding the Supreme Chancellor from enforcing his own proclamation or the decree of the Supreme Lodge. At the session of the Supreme Lodge at Columbus, O. the injunction or restraining order was not obeyed and the Grand Lodge, K. of P. of Virginia, through counsel and with the concerted action of Supreme Representatives, John Mitchell, Jr, Thomas M. Crump, E. R, Jefferson and T. H. Wyatt instituted contempt proceedings in the Suyreme Court at Washington against S. W. Green, Dr. E. E. Underwood, R. R. Jackson, for violating the restraining order. The original suit and the contempt proceedings were consolidated at the hearing by mutual consent of counsel and the result is announce that Virgtnia has won it contention in the cause at issue. Washington, D. C.,—Iasiah Williams who lives in Jacksonville, Fla. has invented the most remarkable and wonder ful war machine which has probably ever been invented in any country. Mr. Williams claims that his gun will shoot over fifty miles. It is mounted on a set of wheels over 12 feet high, eight feet wide and is over fifty feet long. It will shoot a solid or explosive shell over fifty miles. It is propelled by gasoline and as so constructed that the gun can cross any marsh or trench It is said by expert mechanical engineers that if the German had had this invention in their possession they would have captured Paris; that they could at the present destroy London, England, across the English Channel. The War Department seems to be very much interested in this machine. Church News CAMPBELL CHAPEL AFRICAN M. E. CHURCH NOTES. A. M. Ward, Paster. 1218 23rd St. Phone Main 5474.

Special floral decorations will beautify the church, all mothers will be given white carnations at the door of the auditorium, special music will be prepared and a "mother's sermon" preached, and everyone will wear a white ribbon in honor of mother.

THE CRISIS MAGAZINE Historic Illustrations and Timely Stories Featured in May Number. Pictures Featured in May Number. The May Crisis is a notable and interesting number. It contains the concluding part of Jessie Fauset's striking novelle, "There Was One Time," and an article on a southern colored farmer, Taylor Henson, written by a southern white man, "The Looking Glass" has some interesting comments of the war from the point of view of colored people and a largely unknown story of the colored sailors on the Merrimac. Among the pictures is a page picture of the French African troops after the battle of Douaumont and also pictures of the new Douglass square, Boston, and the Agassiz school, Cambridge, of which Miss Marla L. Baldwin, a colored woman, is head. In "The Men of the Month" section are featured the late Drs. M. W. Gillbert and A. S. Gray, Mr. Battey, the photographer; Miss Knox, a schoolteacher; two constructing architects connected with the United States treasury and Dr. Waring, the new head of the Howard Orphan asylum. "The Horizon" has a picture of Blanche Deas and of several recent high school graduates, together with an unusual amount of news. Perhaps the most striking thing in the whole magazine is a new poem by Mrs. Johnson, "To the Mantled," which, picturing the future freedom of the Negro, ends with these lines: Like joyful exiles, swift returning home, the rhythmic chanson of their eager feet, While voices, strange to ecstasy, long dumb. Break forth in major cadences, full sweet. Into the very star shine, lo, they come, Wearing the bays of victory complete! On the cover Miss Anita Thompson of Los Angeles, Cal., is dancing. The Crisis is published at 70 Fifth avenue. New York, and is edited by W. E. Burghardt Du Bois, head of the research department of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People.

OUR WATCHWORD IS LOYALTY Colored troops are now guarding the capital of the nation, and we have been informed that they are on duty around the White House, says the Richmond (Va.) Planet editorially. "Faithful unto death" has always been their motto, and the president of the United States can repose absolute confidence in the black contingent that has been mustered into service. There can be no question as to the patriotism of colored citizens. They have never known anything else. Loyalty has always been their watchword, whether the president of the United States was a Democrat or a Republican. And we add, there are no spies, plotters nor anarchists among the members of our race. This is our native home, the Stars and Stripes our national emblem. We will stand by the flag, protecting against any foreign foe. --- CHURCH of the HOLY REDEEMER Cor. 22nd Ave. and Humboldt. Phone York 5708. PEOPLES' PRESSYTERIAN CHURCH. Cor.

Nashville, Tenn.—By raising in a sev- en day campaign $20,140.88 the colored People of this city took up the offer whereby the white citizens were to supplement it with their $100,000, which, it 1s expected, will secure from Julius Rosenwald the $25,000 which was promised some time ago. They have already purchased the magnif- cent Duncan hotel property, which passed into their hands on Dec. 31, 1916, and which consists of a four story building of eighty rooms and the entire furnishings. The campaign was notable for the amount of ginger put into it. More than $10,000 was reported on the last day of the campaign. Money was solicited through letters, by per- sonal subscriptions and by telegraph. Friends, ex-residents and sympathizers of Nashville people from all sections of the United States were brought {nto the campaign. The building, which will be remod- eled from the funds of the present campaizu, will be worth more than $200,000. "It is sald by the leading ¥ M. C.

At Tuskezee William G.

Certainly no other race coming from a foreign soil can be compared with Negroes in their loyalty to this com- try. What is true of the past is cer- tally true of the present.” ‘These pledges have n timely interest, but what occasion was there to take seriously the vazue charges which have prompied them?

We want history to show that the time has once again come in the workings of Almighty God's providence for the freed slave along with his sons and daughters, to dedicate themselves to freedom, liberty and justice. While this new dedication is not for the freedom of a race enslaved and only now half free on our own soil, but dedicated to the freedom of all the peoples everywhere. This dedication is not limited to sectional, national boundaries, nor racial ties, nor to the confines of a single continent, nor by the shores of a single hemisphere; it embraces a dedication to human freedom for all the world, even to benighted and backward Africa. Let history show no cowards, kneeebats, straddlers, nor grinning shirkers were among us, and let the world know that while our president has approved by federal order segregation in the departments; that that it strikes at our very souls and heartbeats of square deal and justice, that, we, Negroes of this nation, Negroes of Colorado are behind him and as firm as the rocks of snowcapped Pike's Peak, and with our lives we are determined to support him, as commander-in-chief of the army and navy, until every menace to our nation and the nations of the world has been destroyed. Let history record the fact that here in Colorado, Negroes of Colorado wear our nation's colors, applaud Glory and rise in their seats and bare their heads when our national airs are being played. For God's sake, Negroes, catch the spirit, the hour is pregnant with too many future blessings for us. The volunteer enlistment provision, inserted in the new army bill, meets the approval of all of America's black citizenry. Black men want universal compulsory military service or volunteer enlistment. They are opposed to the selective draft because they are assured that in it there is a motive of the South to quite largely fix the military status of American black men during this world war. It would not be very nice for history to record that black men were such treasonable and dangerous charaters in the life of this nation as to justify the government in withholding guns from our hands, and it is the brave black boys who are rushing to the colors now who are going to save the Negro from the ignominy that the South hopes to heap upon us when peace shall again come. Black men want a place on the firing line; we want a gun in our hands, and the volunteer enlistment provision gives us that chance. Of course, if the war lasts, conscription is bound to come, but under this selective draft it will be possible, and it is not unlikely, that most of the Negroes would be selected for maintenance purposes. In the far South—Georgia, Louisiana and Mississippi—thousands of Negroes would be put to work raising crops and building fortifications on our coast lines. All of this we will be willing to do, in addition to shedding our blood on the firing line. It is to be regretted that in a great national crisis like this any portion of our citizenship should have a fear from internal sources, but we want to retain our status as citizens. When we hear the South shouting about not putting guns in black folks' hands, and then instantly putting their stamp of approval upon the selective draft, it looks as though some one were trying to fix it so that history will say, "We were afraid to put a gun in his hands; we could only trust him with a apade and a hoe."

WRONG ON FACTS ABOUT LYNCHING Julian Street's Views Provoke Heated Discussion. STATEMENT OF CONDITIONS Miss Rachel E. Guy, Plucky Washington Schoolteacher, Makes Sweeping Reply to Article on the Negro—Atlanta Riots and Georgia Supreme Court Records Cited In the Controversy. Miss Rachel E. Guy, who is a member of the Afro-American Historical association in Washington and also a public schoolteacher, has written the following open letter to Julian Street anent Mr. Street's article entitled "The Negro," which recently appeared in Collier's Weekly: "Dear Mr. Street—I have read with great interest and more than once your article 'The Negro,' appearing in Collier's for Jan. 27. That you meant to be sincere is plain. That you believe you have been impartial is evident. You have succeeded in being the former. You have failed utterly as to the latter. "To explain, in your 'Facts About Lynching' you say, 'It was in this brief but terrible period (reconstruction), that the Negro's dream of political equality, which seemed to him to have been realized, surpassed itself in his poor, confused mind and became an utterly impossible dream of social equality, including the ultimate blending of the two races by intermarriage." Further, "To such a dream in the Negro mind may, you believe, be traced many of the atrocious Negro crimes against white women." Not a word, Mr. Street, of the 'atrocious crimes' of white men against black women. "If intermarriage was and is the Negro's dream, then in places where he may marry white, if he pleases, he has not sought in any numbers to make the dream real. Here, in Washington, with a population of nearly 100,000 colored people, and in other cities north, east and west, the proportion of mixed marriages is negligible. Theoretical Discussion of Lynching. "You pass lightly over the number of innocent men and women brutally shot, hanged and burned. You discuss the reasons for lynching theoretically and with palliation. You speak of the Atlanta riots of some years ago, of the indiscriminate killing of colored people on the streets of that city as being a 'ghastly but effective remedy for a series of attacks of Negroes upon white women.' Mr. Street, you err. When has the wanton killing of innocent men, women and children ever deterred any rapist? Has lynching, the soul sickening, horrible burnings of the southern black men by southern white men, stopped any brute, be he black or white? "But there is another side to the Atlanta massacre, a side that the white southern press suppressed, a side that white Atlanta guards and keeps quiet, a side that colored Atlanta knows, and that is the fact that investigation disclosed that not one woman could be found who had been 'attacked,' that the 'series of attacks' were chimeras of prejudice mad brains. Surely you did not know, Mr. Street; you were not told, you did not investigate the court records to find out that for this savagery the black men took a 'tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye.' Have you noticed that no colored man has been lynched in Atlanta since that time? Well, if you haven't it would interest you greatly to get on the inside of that question. I assure you it will more than repay you for your pains. "You quote the Encyclopaedia Britannica as saying that 'colored people nearly always shield criminals of their own race against whites.' In God's name, who would not, when colored people of some parts of the south know that for the slightest misdemeanor one of their number may be taken out to furnish souvenirs in the form of charred human flesh, bones and teeth to an exulting, yelling mob of barbarous whites? If the 'gabbling, cackling, shrill laughter of the Negro as he squats on the curb with others of his kind'—if 'these strange sounds emphasize peculiarly the affinity that exists between a Negro and a mule,' so the swoop of a southern mob with torch and rope 'emphasizes peculiarly the affinity that exists' between a southern white man and a vulture, a vulture that tears out and rends the heart of its victim and feasts upon its mutilated carcass in ghoulish glee. Cause of Nonconviction of Lynchers. "Besides, you admit that southern juries cannot and will not convict their lynchers, because 'every one in a county knows every one else, many of the families are related, they therefore stand together and protect one another, and the county authorities whose duty it is to apprehend lynchers usually fall to perform their duty, not always because they are unable to, but frequently, it is presumed, because the lynchers are their neighbors, if not their friends and relatives.' This, you say, is an explanation by a judge of the Georgia supreme court. Thus out of Georgia's own legal mouth does she stand before the world convicted and confessed a wanton oppressor and murderer of the weak, a derelict to her duty. Thus for the black man to shield a fellow human from torture is a bel- nous crime, meeting too frequently with death, while for the white man to protect another from the too lenient law is a human and commendable thing. "Southerners have told you that 'in civil cases, especially in cases having to do with property rights, the Negro can and does get justice.' Does he? Nothing whatever, Mr. Street, of the families that are driven off their land or made to sell for a mere pittance. That, of course (?), cannot be said to be within the province of the law. Why was the wealthy Anthony Crawford lynched? 'Impudence and striking a white man' furnished the excuse; the accumulated $20,000 worth of property was the real reason. "You do not agree with Viscount Bryce that 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' should be generally read, because it seems to you that this tried friend of the United States has not advised us altogether well, because the primary purpose for which it was written has long since been served. Its value as a picture of average conditions under slavery is somewhat dubious, and the reading of it by those who do not fully understand this tends, you believe, to keep alive the thing which, now that slavery is gone, needs most of all to be abolished—namely, sectional feeling. Questioned About Southern Peonage. "So, Mr. Sweet, slavery is gone! How about the infamous peonage systems in the south? How is it that some of the people in the 'black belt' do not know to this day that they are free's Keeping alive a dead issue! How about the 'Birth of a Nation', a picture that keeps alive the hattres and fosters prejudice against an oppressed people, that vilifies and maligns them? Have you read unbiased reconstruction literature thoroughly enough to know that the 'Birth of a Nation' is not history, but a lie? If so, have you ever in print said that to produce it would be unwise and certainly unkind? Had you listened, as I have from childhood, to tales of horror, borne out by ineradicable scars of the brutality of slavery, you would know that 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' is in its letter and its spirit a true picture of what was. "The trouble, Mr. Street, is that the south has been the Rip Van Winkle of this country. It drank deep its draft of power and its peculiar ideas of superiority. It is just now being aroused by the new Negro, the Negro who through striving and sacrifice and education is coming into his soul's heritage. The south would keep alive, if it could, the 'Possum Dick' and 'Aunt Sophie' types of Negro. But, like all things else on this old planet of ours, they have had their day, have served as subjects for picture, song and story. The new Negro is no less worthy of artistic immortality. He is upright, with the straight in the eye look. He is ambitious. He is animated by a 'divine discontent.' He does his own thinking. He does not recognize and will not occupy any 'place' assigned him by another whose only claim to dictation is the color of his skin. "In your conclusion you say, 'Let the Negro firebrand learn the common Negro virtue of great patience; let him cease to worry about rights and think always of duty and destiny.' Has it never occurred to you that there is a place and a time when patience ceases to be a virtue and becomes a most ignoble crime? That time for the Negro is now; that place is here. Must Contend For Equal Justice. Must Contend For Equal Justice. "Your advice to the Negro to 'think always of duty and destiny' is good. But the new Negro has been thinking about that for some time now. He knows that his duty is to contend for every right accorded every other man of every other color. His duty is to give his children, no matter how great the sacrifice, every possible advantage for betterment and for growth. His duty is to protect with even greater zealousness the property, lives and honor of his own family than did his misguided forefathers protect those of an absent master. Instead of waiting supinely for a belated respect and justice from white men, he will work out and meet half way his own destiny. And that destiny! It is to stand on an equal footing with every other man of every other race, asking neither charity nor favor, but demanding and getting even handed justice. "You read the 'Negro Year Book.' Do you read the Crisis? The 'burning Dubois' through its pages sounds the clarion call of the new Negro to a new and changing day. You speak of winning the 'respect and friendship of the intelligent white south.' The intelligent white south has a duty (again duty) to perform, a most stupendous task. It has to send well equipped and consecrated missionaries to educate and Christianize its ignorant and heathen whites, in order that the entire south may at least claim justly to be civilized and may on its own behalf win the 'respect' of the world and all the people thereof. "You know, Mr. Street, the psychology of pictures. As you never fail to put the extenuating 'but' beside every inhuman act of the south, in the name of all that's fair, why did you not show beside the sketches emphasizing Negro sloth and vice others representing Negro progress and virtue? I feel that you have written according to your light. How poor that light only one on the inside and not an 'outsider' can know." Elks to Hold Convention in Cleveland.

HAS SERVED IN MANY FIELDS Story of How the Principal of the Dinwildie (Va.) Industrial School Won His Spure—Possibilities For Success of the Institution Over Which He New Presides. Dinwildie, Va.—"We must wipe from our race everywhere ignorance and illiteracy, and we must be able to look every man in the face and let the world know that there is a man meeting a man, brain touching brain," is the declaration of Professor Walter S. Woodyard, president of the Dinwildie Industrial school, located at this place. The school is destined to be one of the greatest institutions in the country for the training of colored youth. Professor Woodyard has prepared himself for his work and ranks today with the best trained school men in the race. He was born in Mobile, Ala., and got his early education in the Mobile public schools. From the public school M. WALTER S. WOODYARD. he entered Emerson institute, in the same city, where he was prepared for his college work. He was during his school life a bright student, making good use of his time. After his graduation from Emerson institute in 1805 he entered the college preparatory department of Fisk university, from which he received his bachelor's degree. Professor Woodyard's first educational work after his graduation was as principal of the high school at Springfield, Tenn. In this position his abilities as a manager and teacher attracted the attention of the late William H. Council, president of the Agricultural and Mechanical college, Normal, Ala., who offered Mr. Woodyard the position of dean of the normal department of the above named school, which he accepted. On leaving Normal, Ala., Professor Woodyard became the director of the literary department of the St. Paul Normal and Industrial school at Lawrenceville, Va., of which Archdeacon Russell is the principal. After two years of splendid work at the Lawrenceville school Mr. Woodyard returned to Mobile, Ala., where he taught for some time. He established a training school at Plateau, Ala. Soon after he established this school he was invited to take charge of the Edenton Normal school, Edenton, N. C., which is fostered by the A. M. E. Zilon church. He took up the work in his present position when Professor T. C. Irwin resigned the principalship to become field secretary for the Negro Organization Society of Virginia. Professor Woodyard tells the following story concerning the institution: "The Dinwiddie Industrial school came into our possession through the benevolence of Alexander Van Rensselaer of Philadelphia, philanthropist and a stanch friend of the colored people. Mr. Van Rensselaer conducted the school in the interest of colored youths for several years up until 1907, known as the John A. Dix Industrial school. In 1907 the name was changed, and it was incorporated as the Dinwiddie Agricultural and Industrial school. Mr. Van Rensselaer decided to place the school in the custody of the colored people, together with the responsibility of running it, and through Professor S. G. Atkins, secretary of education, and Rev. G. L. Blackwell, general secretary, in 1908 he conveyed it to the board of education of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion church. "In coming into possession of the Dinwiddie Industrial school we have a heritage the value of which is almost inestimable when it is considered in the light of the opportunity it gives to our race. The plant consists of 149 acres of good land, the southern part of which borders on a creek. "There is a two story boys' dormitory, with a large, airy basement, which for the present is used for the girls' dormitory (the girls' dormitory was destroyed by fire just before the plant was conveyed to us); one building used temporarily for the boys' dormitory, one large barn with stables, wagon house, a hewnery, several wagons, a chariage, farming utensils, several mules, pigs and chickens. About 300 acres of the land are under cultivation, the rest in "umbre." The Advantage of Pulling Together DIVISION. HO-HO! HOW! WHERE! WOW!

SUCCESS! only weakens him and strengthens the chains of prejudice and unfair competition upon your necks, besides helping the race who least need your help. We are our own masters, if we would rightly and intelligently use what means which are ours. Think of 100 Negroes putting $1 aside a month in a colored company or in a bank and buying pigs, horses, cattle, chickens, turkeys and Belgian hares and putting those animals on the ranches of our Negro farmers, what would it mean in two years to the farmer, yourself and our Denver community? A Negro auto transportation service, a Negro commission merchant and produce dealer, Negro distributor of eggs and poultry to Capitol Hill customers and a Negro general store in the farmers' settlement all because Denver and Colorado Negroes are working together.

How many of us realize how much we will help ourselves by boosting our competitor instead of knocking him? To those of us who do not, the above picture, from Armour, will carry its own message. No amount of reasoning or logic could show any more clearly and definitely just what cooperation means. Let's all apply it to our own business this year and wait for results. NEGROES, STUDY THIS PICTURE. THEN ACT. The Star prints the above lesson in order to convince some of the most skeptical Negroes of Denver and Colorado, as well as elsewhere, what it will mean for ten millions of Negroes whose minds, hearts, objects, purposes, ambitions and work are doggedly set up on one certain thing—elimination of all caste, prejudice and inequality for every one—or certain things of uplift to humanity, and what a unified action can do. This lesson applies to Negroes who patronize others than their own in business, even if you or they don't like the man or men running in business. Patronize him or his competitor of color.

Unity leads to conference which will ultimately result into co-operation, so stick together if you have to hang together in parts. Success crowns all co-operative efforts. The Star regrets to note that only a few Negroes are either wearing or displaying our "Old Glory." We should be broader than that because narrowness never won/anybody a battle. Negroes, "Honor and shame from no condition rise; act well YOUR part, THERE all HONOR lies. Now, let every home, lodge, society, church and business place display the American flag. In this movement Zion Baptist and Scott M. E. churches, so far as we have been able to learn, are the only churches displaying the flag. The Day Nursery displays three flags. Negroes, get busy. Let us be men and women as well as loyal citizens; yet let the world know we are not treated fairly. To be loyal does not mean you are satisfied. Be patriotic at all times. Men make circumstances; circumstances make duties, and duty is destiny. "God give us men! A time like this demands Strong minds, great hearts, true faith, and ready hands. Men whom the lust of office does not kill; Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy; Men who possess opinions and a will; Men who have honor, and who will not lie; Men who can stand before a demogogue And scorn his treacherous flatteries without winking.
